utio Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 As tuesday is supposed to be maintenance day I make sure I have a different day off during the week. I work saturday and sunday, and maintenance occurs between 8am and 4pm where I live. Last week it was delayed, this week it was delayed, both times rescheduled for my day off. Is it not too much to ask that if bioware have a set downtime day they stick to it? Or am I just being a wingebag cos I haven't been able to play on my day off cos bioware aren't following their own set days? I know that with patches there is a possibility it may need more attention, and I'm fine with that, but why can't they do this patch next Tuesday, a scheduled maintenance day? I do hope they will consider sticking to set days in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRelyks Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Seriously...you take a day off to play SWTOR? Next episode on Intervention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yotes Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The patch was delayed from yesterday for further testing....and they decided to deploy tonight. They said they plan to stick to Tuesday maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhadamanthNemes Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm sure they would prefer to stick to Tuesdays as well, their whole maintenance and support cycle, staffing etc, is probably all scheduled around Tuesday maintenance. So don't change your off days, they will most likely be sticking with Tuesdays in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekknikal Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Seriously...you take a day off to play SWTOR? Next episode on Intervention... Considering how many people are completely jobless to play MMOs all day, I don't think it's that crazy to think that if someone gets one day off a week, they might want the servers to be up for that.

PjPablo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Having random maintenance days can mess up raid schedules too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no I don't, but I can't play most evenings so it's nice to have some time to play on my day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_banana Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tuesdays are the maintenance day and they're sticking to that schedule. But, if a patch has an issue and needs to be delayed a couple days, I'd much rather they release it as soon as it's ready rather than delay it to the next Tuesday. I don't want to have to wait for content/bug fixes because it inconveniences a few people. No matter when they do maintenance, somebody somewhere is going to be inconvenienced. Sucks if you're one of those, but they can't accomodate a single individual's schedule. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPigCS Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Erratic maintenance is common place for a new MMO in the first few months. At least they keep theirs to 1 day a week and (North American) off peak hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
